    My cousin got married on 18 Dec. He and his new wife are in Thailand on honeymoon and haven't been heard from since the tsunami struck. We're still hoping that they are just somewhere remote and can't get in touch but are fearing the worst. Please redirect this money to the disaster funds. I know it can't save them but it might help me feel slightly less helpless.

    Yep, I think I can speak for most people on this board and say we are deeply moved by the awful situation faced by the people affected.

    I hope everyone here who is waiting to hear from friends or relatives hears that they are safe and well soon

    Martin, I am sure even the site charities would agree with this gesture at this time.

    To the poster who hasn't heard from his cousin, may you get good news soon.

    brilliant idea.

    My thoughts are with those who have heard and those who are still waiting for news of loved ones.

    Hugs and kisses
